Rosamund Pike used dialect coach for Gone Girl role
Actress ROSAMUND PIKE worked with a dialect coach to perfect her American accent for new film GONE GIRL.
The star, who plays Ben Affleck's missing wife in the movie adaptation of Gillian Flynn's thriller novel of the same name, was glad to get help with an American accent she really struggled with.
She tells U.S. breakfast show Today, "I had a great dialect coach. You work like you're learning a foreign language. We speak the same language, but we also really don't."
Pike also found the role difficult because she had to gain and lose weight for the film.
She continues, "I had to fluctuate three times because the weight was scheduled. I had to fluctuate like 12 or 13 pounds. Gain it, lose it, gain it, lose it, gain it, lose it. So I started to think I could do it very healthily... and then I just hit the milkshakes."
